Lesnar has made his choice
Feb 1, 2022
To the surprise of very few people, 2022 men's Royal Rumble winner Brock Lesnar has selected Universal champion Roman Reigns as his opponent for WrestleMania 38 in Dallas.
However, if Lesnar has his way, he'll be entering the match as WWE champion.
In the opening segment of Monday's Raw in Cincinnati, Lesnar interrupted WWE champion Bobby Lashley and MVP, as the two were protesting Adam Pearce's announcement that Lashley would defend his title inside the Elimination Chamber in three weeks in Jeddah.
Lesnar addressed the events of the Royal Rumble, saying he was going to face Reigns at WrestleMania, and said he plans for it to be title vs. title. He then demanded a rematch with Lashley tonight, and while Lashley went to accept, MVP talked him out of it.
Pearce then announced that Lesnar would be entered into the Chamber as one of Lashley's five opponents.
Lesnar defended the WWE title against Lashley at the Rumble on Saturday, but lost after Reigns and Paul Heyman cost him the match. Lesnar later entered the men's Rumble match at number 30 and won.
